Matches
Final
1886-87 season
Tollcross were awarded the trophy in 1886–87. Cowlairs were supposed to be their opponents in the final, but the team never turned up for the match.[1]
1888-89 season
Celtic were presented with the trophy and the accompanying badges on May 31, 1889. A smoking ceremony was held in Campbell's, Dunlop Street.[2]
1890-91 season
Holders Celtic chose not to enter the competition in 1890–91 with the inauguration of the Scottish League.[3]
The Scottish FA scheduled the Home Nations match between Scotland and Ireland on the same day as the tournament final. The North Eastern FA felt aggrieved as it would likely result in reduced attendances for both teams on the day.[4]
